Experiment name: SCM7 Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach PI's affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring Name: AWI204 Mooring position: 70.940 deg S, 11.962 deg W Instrument depth: 1517 meters Seafloor depth: 1522 meters Times: starts 22 Feb 1989, ends 29 Dec 1989 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 5.00 30.04 4.38 309.7 dir (deg true) 0.00 209.63 359.81 89.28 309.7 u (cm/sec) -22.26 -2.57 11.50 3.66 309.7 v (cm/sec) -14.37 -0.55 29.98 4.89 309.7 temp (deg C) 0.03 0.24 0.42 0.06 309.7 Approximately 33% of the speeds in this record are below 1.5 cm/sec. 14% of the speeds have been set to zero, an indication that they were below the current meter's threshold. Nonzero speeds below 1.5 cm/sec (which often is taken as the speed threshhold for this type of meter) may be interpolated values. The direction series in this record appears to contain many interpolations or other artifacts of the processing; it doesn't look entirely natural.
